+1 and it is also great with the combo L plate on a tripod. Very convenient and a definite improvement in handling.:thumbs:Just got the (Basic) grip that John Milich designed and fashioned and I have to tell you it's superb! Gives the camera a better 'feel' and stability when using it handheld. (More mass = greater inertia = less shake.)
Highly recommended.

Mine was despatched a couple of days ago. Has to come across the 'pond'. Also ordered a optech micro cover to slip over the lens hood to keep it all clean (I've stopped storing the camera with the lens cap as I prefer to keep the hood on at all times).Just got the (Basic) grip that John Milich designed and fashioned and I have to tell you it's superb!

Fixed linkHere's my DP2M w/ grip-L-plate mounted to a simple pano setup using Nodal Ninja 5. After sighting in the nodal point using the target and arm on the NN I removed the vertical riser and use only the indexed pan part of the NN.

Folks I don't have a site to host the photos so I'll have to add them later after I setup a flicker account or something. Any input on the best service for hosting photos would be appreciated. ThanksThe combo gripe/L plate is awesome, huge improvement in handling. The lens hood design, on the other hand, is terrible. I took a router to mine and trimmed out the baffle. Now the cap can be used as it should have been from the factory. I'll post a photo when I get to work.
